Our Vision

Our Approach

Because on average a majority of Newark’s incoming ninth grade students are not proficient in English Language Arts and Math, People’s Prep provides a longer school day and year so that students have more time to learn. Longer hours also help prepare students for college-level work. In total, we provide students with an average of 22 more school days a year than district counterparts.
